onn. Groove Portable Bluetooth Speaker Just $8.96 on Walmart.com (Reg. $50)

This is a fantastic speaker. It is rechargeable and water resistant, great to use around the pool. The sound is great. The modern fabric design makes it impossible to see it as a speaker, and it is attractive wherever you use it. Very happy with this speaker and highly recommend it.

I like the fun fabric on the front. I like the kickstand that keeps it upright. The Bluetooth connected to my iPhone without any trouble. I bring it to the tennis courts and listen to music with it. It’s surprisingly loud and the battery life has been good so far!

This speaker surprised us in a good way. Upon initial inspection, we found the speaker to be solid but not overly heavy, about the width of a volleyball. It’s the perfect size for transport and has a little stand that easily props it up on any surface. The sound quality was really great, no static at all even on the loudest setting. Many more expensive speakers have a more impressive and louder bass but also those particular speakers will vibrate enough to fall off of many surfaces. This speaker has a nice, well-balanced sound quality without the fall hazard. We also love that it matches the aesthetic of our living room. It’s bright and colorful and fun. Easily paired to my iPhone and my iMac.
